Devon: 'Wow, You're Quick' Devon Michaels writes:
Devon Michaels calls me Friday afternoon, May 13, 2005. Devon: "So what are you doing?" Duke: "I'm trying to finish a column." Devon: "Do you want me to call back later?" Duke: "No. You are the solution to my problems." Devon: "Normally I'm the root of the problem." Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Devon: "A writer." Duke: "Why?" Devon: "Because it was my only skill. I was only a kid so I didn't realize I had the whole stripping thing. "English was my easiest class. That's probably why I wanted to be a writer." Duke: "Did you have a Persian husband?" Devon: "I've had two. Neither of them were Persian. One was gay. The other one was a big white guy." Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?" Devon: "Mostly the jocks. I was a cheerleader and on the track team and a little bit of volleyball." Michaels grew up in Illinois. She now lives in Peoria, where she owns two strip clubs (Fantasy Land and Elliots). "Peoria is like a mecca of strip clubs." Devon lost her virginity at 15. "I was really little. I ran all the time. I was 90-pounds. It didn't quite fit. I learned to give a blowjob that same night because he couldn't get his dick in me. The next weekend we finally had sex. He was big. "I'm the same height, 5'2" and I weigh 115-pounds. I'm 38D-24-34. "I come from a strict home. But my parents were also open-minded. They went to college in the sixties. They were real liberal, yet they were strict. You could do whatever you wanted to do but they certainly didn't expect dancing and porn. It's nothing they would've chosen for me but they've always been cool about it. They don't know about porn. My father died a couple of years ago. My mother doesn't know. She might know but she doesn't say anything." Duke: "It wasn't because your father found out you were a porn star and then he..." Devon: "No. They know about dancing because I've been dancing forever. And adult magazines." Duke: "What was your reputation in highschool?" Devon: "I come from a small highschool. There weren't any drugs. Everybody drank and lost their virginity their sophomore year. So I wasn't considered a slut. There was nothing to do there but drink and have sex. I was popular. I had sex with three guys before highschool graduation at the end of my Junior year. "I started dancing during the summer between my first and second year of college. I did four years of college but I didn't get my degree. Damn them! I took a semester when I got my boobs done. I thought I should. Ok, it was a good excuse. I moved to New York after my fourth year of college. I was about 20-credits shy. I should've stuck around another semester and graduated. "I was 21 and one of my friends wanted me to move to New York with her. You don't care about that stuff then. I was like, '---- education. I'm going to New York.' "I was a decent student. I partied a lot in college. I drank a lot. I went to a lot of frat parties. I was dancing. So if it was a good time of year at the club I'd blow off classes and work. I could've been a good student. I didn't have a lot of drive. 'Yeah, give me a beer.'" Devon says she reads a lot. "I read a lot of books of short stories. I buy books a lot at the airport so I'll have something to read on the flight." She mentions, For The Relief of Unbearable Urges by Nathan Englander. "I just liked the title. I saw it and I thought, that's a cool title. "I don't pay attention to what people say you should read." Duke: "What were your measurements before your implants?" Devon: "I was a 36AA. My back is broad. I am all implants. I have basically no breast tissue. "I was fine with being flat-chested. I was never insecure about that part of my body. Other parts, yeah. "I remember thinking that I was making good money with AAs, so I'd make even more if I made them bigger, which I did. In regular clothes, they don't look that big. But if I have sports bra on at the gym, I forget that they are huge to the average person. People tend to stare at them. It's a compliment. Who doesn't want to be noticed? There are times when I'm not trying to get attention and it gets annoying." Duke: "How did you get into hardcore?" Devon: "I got divorced [for the second time]. A company had emailed me about a cat-fight video. I was like, it's not my thing. And they said, we have a good customer who wants to commit to this video and here's the girl you'll be working with -- Tanya Danielle. She's hot. "Tonya and I got to be friends. She set me up with Brad Armstrong (Wicked Pictures director). It was three years ago this month." Duke: "Did you ever date Brad?" Devon laughs. "No. He'd seen me before. He goes to the Exotica Dancer convention every year in Las Vegas. He'd seen some of my Iron Man fitness stuff. "He put me in my first scene without me having to go on an audition, a go-see. I didn't have to go out with him. He's turned into a good friend of mine. "I introduced him to Stormy. She and I had a mutual photographer friend. He was like, 'Stormy wants to go to LA but she doesn't know anybody. Could you show her around?' "We got delayed shooting my scene and I had to go back the next day. I said, 'My girlfriend is coming into town. Do you mind if she comes to the set? She's beautiful and she wants to do porn.' "She got out of the car and the world stopped turning [for Brad]. "Brad is like me. He likes variety." Duke: "What gave it away that your husband was gay?" Devon: "As far as I know, when we were together, he wasn't actively gay. He wouldn't even let me touch his ass. If I had known he was gay, I would've been like, we can get divorced and we can be buddies and we can go shopping. "A few years after I got divorced, the house mom asked me if I had been married to a guy named Steve. It turned out that her friend had dated him after we split up and he dumped her for a guy. From what I hear, now he lives in Atlanta and he's married to a man." Duke: "Atlanta is very gay." Devon: "If he's happy, that's cool." Duke: "What's it like trying to have a relationship while you're a porn star?" Devon: "I haven't had a relationship since I've started doing movies. People that had a problem with dancing, I didn't bother with. I quit for one guy when I was 20. After we broke up, I thought that's no good. We could've been making money that whole time. After that, I didn't put up with it. "After I got divorced [for the second time], I didn't want to be in a serious relationship. In my twenties, I was in three serious three-year relationships. In the whole decade, I was totally involved with someone and totally monogamous. After that, I just wanted to have fun and ---- people. "I am straight but not stupid. If you give me a really hot girl, I'll ---- her. I've never had a relationship with a woman. I'm not sure I could handle a relationship with a woman. That would be like another me and I can barely handle myself. "You'd think [stripping] would cure me of being boy crazy but I like men a lot. "I like tall athletic smart funny men with dark hair. "I'm not that easy. I'm a great ---- buddy. I'm not a great person to be in a relationship with. When it starts getting serious, I feel uncomfortable." Devon says she's done about 70-porn scenes. "I'm a sex addict. Porn keeps me from ----ing a million civilians. I just save it for when I'll be in LA. I've never lived in LA." Duke: "What are your ambitions?" Devon: "I think I'm about done with all this. Of course I keep saying that. I'd like to retire in the next two years and be a normal person. I'd like to marry again. "In my town, everybody knows who I am but nobody brings it up." I'm surprised when Devon mentions she was scheduled to do a bukkake. Duke: "I thought you were a conservative girl." Devon: "I'm not conservative. I like an orgy." Aside from a trip to Mexico, Devon has never been outside of the United States. "The last vacation I took was in 1998."
